Several of these are running in a handicap for the first time including Centerville, who hasn't done much to deserve a rating of 68 but is still not out of this very moderate contest. BAD PENNY has joined Ross O'Sullivan from the UK where she's run well the last twice on quick ground. The fact that Pat Smullen has been booked suggests she's expected to run well and she can land this for new connections. Three Majors is tried in blinkers after a disappointing run in a Ballinrobe claimer and Its An Illusion steps up to the trip for the first time and has never raced on ground with some give.
